Whim Loves: Retro Record Players by Rockit

If there’s one nostalgic item that a vintage or retro inspired home isn’t complete without, it’s a record player.

With popular bloggers (like our Issue 12 cover star Liv Purvis) featuring their treasured turntables on a regular basis, no one can deny the fact that vinyl has made a serious comeback (and we think it’s here to stay!)

If the thought of slipping one of your favourite records out of its jacket before lowering it onto the platter and placing down the needle has got you feeling all giddy with excitement, then you’re going to love Rockit.

Rockit is an Australian owned online store specialising in retro and contemporary record players and turntables, as they stock all of the big brands such as GPO, Crosley and Mbeat.

You may have noticed that vinyl sales have surged over the years and many of your favourite artists are now releasing their albums in this format. We all have to admit, while music might be more accessible than ever these days, we seem to have lost touch a little with the ‘physical’ aspect of music – whether it be making a trip to the music store to excitedly buy a new album, or being able to admire the cover art on the front and back in person (without simply seeing it on a screen…).

Rockit’s record players and turntables bring the ‘touch’ back into music, helping people to rediscover one of music’s most simple joys. They even sell bundles that come with speakers and vinyl record cases (such as the GPO Attache Bundle, pictured above) so people can start collecting and enjoying vinyl immediately.

Other popular products include the Attache GO with rechargeable battery (pictured below) which comes in a range of three retro-inspired colours. Rockit’s briefcase styles are one of their most popular, as they not only look great but can be transported around easily.

If a portable turntable with removable legs is more your thing (like this gorgeous one in blue, pictured below), then we encourage you to check out the whole turntable range here. Many of these also contain USB compatibility for those who aren’t willing to completely embrace retro technology ;)

Like all trustworthy online stores, Rockit also offers 30 day exchanges and affordable shipping with a flat-rate of just $10 to any address in Australia. They also offer international delivery for an additional fee, so no one has to miss out!
